DAVIS CUP TENNIS
AUSTRALIA DEFEATED IN DOUBLES. By Telegraph—Press Association LONDON, June 12. In the Davis Cup competition, European zone quarter-finals, V. G. Kirby and N. G. Farquharson (South Africa) defeated J. B. Crawford and V. McGrath (Australia), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The South Africans’ win was due to superior combination, and also the Australian pair’s lack of understanding. The Australians led 4-1 in the first set, but thereafter, the Africans dominated the game, and the Australians never looked like winning
The form of Crawford and McGrath was on’ mediocre. The Africans stormed the net at every available opportunity, and the Australians found difficulty in passing them, while their tosses were killed by the Africans. McGrath's attack lacked punch.
